My idea for this BNP was to focus on Character Development. I roughly summarized it this time through bullet-notes. Last week I got feedback to elaborate on the traits influencing how they interact with characters. In the beginning Lucy was well-meaning but had little regard to how she was affecting others by reminding them of their *bad* past. Over the course of the book she started to realize how her ambition was taking over and how she was obsessed with finding what she lost. Yet, what she lost *the flavor of her grandmother's cooking* will never be found again and she learns to move on in life.
In this BNP I chose to break up what I read this week into five increments and then pick a symbol for each one, based on what happened. Last week I did not get any cold feedback, so I chose to go with a new style that I have never used before.
I did 2 pages to make it seem special. I was inspired by my book "The World Where I Belong". Last week, Kendall suggested I'd go into detail about the events so I tried a detailed timeline instead of a brief summary. There were so many important and key events in the book but I did my best to focus on the really important ones. I also wanted to think about how the main character influenced his own timeline. From our peer critique Emily told me that she thought fewer colors really helped, so I also tried to keep the colors similar as well.
I connected both of the characters with what they had in common and used color so that it popped
In this BNP, I drew and explained four of what I think are the most prevalent symbols from the book, and then I made a timeline that highlights the series of events from what I read this week. Last week I got feedback to explain more of the text that I was digesting opposed to just writing impactful quotes, and I did that by opting to do a timeline because it shows what I am comprehending from the text.
I was wondering if five knew the consequences of doing this or if he was just really scared at the time. I explore my character's motivations in this jot and make a theory about his thinking.
I made this bnp about the two minds of the grand steward and how they are the same even though they both think they’re different. I got feedback last tome to make it more organized, so I tried to do that here.
I tried to explain my characters feelings and why she felt that way by using a graph.
I talked about each important character and how they relate to each other and I think I did a really good job making my notebook page very beautiful. I worked hard to add different fonts and lay everything down neatly. I took my time because everything is so neat and thoughtful. Next time, I want to add more writing under each person. I know that there is a lot more I can write about under each person For next time, I also am considering shifting my focus from how they are connected to who they are individually.
In this jot, I talked about how Greg had conflict with his brother Rodrick. This is an example of Character versus Character conflict.
For my BNP I wrote about the good and bad side of my characters. The feedback I got and used from last week was to add color.
I made my main characters planet before and after the Mogodorians attacked to illustrate how the setting changed.
I chose to compare Ruth’s life before and after her incident.
I drew pictures with this bnp like before, but this time, I didn’t overlap the words with the picture, and I drew different pictures to represent different subjects. Next time, I think I’ll try to add color if it isn’t too distracting, and I’ll plan out where to write and where to draw better so it isn’t difficult to read.
I drew a picture with my writing again on this bnp, but this time, I added color, because I never colored in any of my previous bnps, even though a lot of the critique given to me was about coloring.
In this Jot, I tried to represent life goals that the main character has and what those goals were to her in her life inside of the book. I wanted to relate to the current project that we are doing right now in a way.
In this jot, I compare what the person wanted and what really happened
I took an important moment in my book and turned it into a comic to show it in a new way.
I wrote some things about Shana, who is one of the main characters in the book. She definitely made a big impact in the book, and I wanted to explore just how many people and situations she affected.
I decided to try out something I don't usually do. I tried reviewing the book. I also added a summary so my review could have a little bit of background for the parts that might not make sense. Last week I also used a lot of colors and I think it might have distracted from the text so I brought down the colors a bit. I wanted to think about how the book made me feel and what I liked. Although, I couldn't fit all of my thoughts.
I wrote a short story fan fiction inspired by the genre I've been reading lately, horror and suspense.
I took inspiration from the colors of the webtoon, so I wanted to do something yellow and brown themed.
In this jot, I had been inspired by humanities reading assignment we had last week which was conflict. So in my Jot I tried to add a conflict that had happened in my book and show what the outcome from the conflict was.
In this BNP I just wrote a bit about the main characters and their story, I also included little illustrations that represent Hazel and Augustus or the story right now. Like lungs to represent Hazel and a paper plane to represent them going to Amsterdam.
Looking back on some motif type themes that I’ve been noticing so far in my book.
I did the same thing as last week but incorporated feedback. My feedback was to add descriptions of the characters to provide context as to why they interact the way they do. This is the same type of BNP, a character web except with a different book.
